On behalf of Bunker45: Latest Panther Painted & Weathered.

[Bunker45]

Freestyle, I like it. Pantherman

Hi. P-man. Freestyle is exactly the word for my model's looks. I like variety. Not too many Allied vehicles, too much green.

Looking good!

Here's my current project that is nearing completion. It's an Academy 1/72 A-10A "Operation Iraqi Freedom" from the 81st Fighter Squadron in Spangdahlem AB, Germany. So far, so good on the left side of the rear canopy. It won't be long now.

Nice work! It looks like it could've been pulled out of a lake or river not too long ago- cheers!

Haven't posted on here much, huge apologies... totally lost my mojo for any kind of modelling... not sure when it'll creep back, but I figure If I keep checking out other folks builds then maybe it'll re-start the modelling fire inside...

Any way, I gotta say this is an absolutely stunning Panther, the paintwork is just sublime which gives it that perfect 'worn and lived in' look.. well done that's some cracking work there..

Hi. Many thanks for that. I do like a worn and lived in look. On the models as well!!! My wife says me and my models all share the same look. Seen better days. Hope your mojo returns. I went through a no modelling patch about 5 or 6 years back. Then I picked up a large kid's toy tank, and I converted it into a late WWII German SPG. That kickstarted my return to form. Haven't looked back since. Email again, when you put out photos of your first model on your return. Look forward to that. Cheers. Steve.

No need for apologies bro, real life can be a mofo from time to time.

Step back, take stock, set priorities. It is the adult thing to do.

When and if your muse (or your need for escape) returns, we and the hobby will be here
